 Not too bad April 26, 2008

I got this for my mother for her birthday to replace the one she had that was well over used. The TV is self works well pic is good. The radio take a bit a playing with to get the staions to come in.
The biggest problem I have found is the remote. It is small and you have to have it at just the right angle to use it. My parents can only seem to get a few numbers to work on it. When I tryed to buy an universal remote for it the fist one did work at all, the second i could get some of the bottens to work but you didn't do the right thing (i.e. 4 was channel up; menue right was 6, 8 was power)
So for now we just use the remote to change to the other half of the channals (say i'm on channal 2 and i want to watch 48, I'd hit 44 on the remote and then channle up on the TV itself.)
All in all the tv is better then the one we had so that all that really matters.

Product arrived within days after order. It is very nice, just right for the purpose of having a TV in the kitchen that does not take up space.
The remote did not work, but the seller immediately shipped a new one. He even followed up to make sure, I received it and it worked properly.
That is first class service! I can highly recommend to buy from this seller.

When the GE 5 inch Spacesaver TV in our kitchen began to show tell-tale signs of expiring we actually looked forward to trading in its boxy shape and quirky controls for a set with a drop-down LCD screen and cable access. We quickly discovered that quality makers seem little interested in this market segment. Sony makes one that received high quality and reliability ratings but is very expensive and somewhat oversized. Additionally,there seems to be a trend to incorporate trendy extras such as a CD/DVD or MP3 access. In the kitchen, we are happy with access to news, weather, and a little bit more while cooking.
Audiovox, Phillips, GPX, Polaroid & the Target house brand had some potentially good choices but each drew critical reviews from users because of reliability issues. This concern with reliability was an additional reason for looking for a set with the fewest bells & whistles. Thus we settled on the Audiovox VE 705.
After a couple of weeks of use we are happy with it. Though your site specs claim a depth of 10.2 and we hoped this would fit flush under our 11.25 in. deep cabinet (from inside the overlap of the cabinet face to the wall), as it happened the Audiovox 705 is a bit over 10.5 in. in depth and after screwing on a right angle adapter (not supplied) for the cable connection we were unable to fit the set flush against the cabinet bottom, inside the front facing. But using the cleverly designed enclosed spacers we were able to mount it 1/8 behind the front face of our cabinet. So not perfect, but good enough. Still, why they have the audio & video connections projecting out from the back of the unit is beyond me. Why not off to one side? Why not straight down?
These considerations aside, we found the VE 705 to be a clean design with minimal height below the cabinet. The picture & sound are adequate to good - about what we expected. FM reception is surprisingly good with the dipole (included) we ran up to the top of the cabinet. All in all it is a huge improvement over our defunct GE Spacesaver. Installallation with the included wood screws was a breeze (the enclosed template was not really needed). All the TV & FM controls work fine. Manual a bit sparce but o.k. Main worry is, of course, reliability. Wish us luck.
Happily Amazon lets us edit reviews. Afters six months of daily use, this unit has performed flawlessly. I'm beginning to question the utility of user reviews from the perspective of product reliability. It just makes sense that the few who are stung by a product will want to warn off others who are considering the product but that the many who got roughly what they paid for will stay happily silent. I did notice when reading reviews that most complaints about Audiovox quality were sent by people who bought one of their tv's shortly after the unit was put on sale.
I'll try to report back on reliability after one year.

I actually do not own this model, I have an earlier model VE-500A 5" LCD under cabinet TV. The picture was great and the sound is good. However, it was working well just long enough to go beyond the 90-day warranty. Now, here is how it works: 1/3 of the screen is lighter than the rest; after 15-20 minutes the picture goes totally white (but I still get sound at least). To get the picture back, I have to turn it off and let it "cool down" for 20-30 mins. Then I'll get the picture for another 15-20 minutes before it goes white again.
I called their Tech Support and to have it repaired out of warranty would cost a flat rate of $130, and would only get another 90-day warranty on the repairs. For $130 I could buy a new one. I hesitate to replace it with any TV because I am not too keen on the idea of drilling more holes in my cabinet.

We recently did an extensive remodel of our kitchen and thought this would be a great addition. Unfortunately, as soon as we drilled the holes in our new cabinets to install it, we were sorry. The sound quality is so poor we had to turn it up full volume to understand it, and then it rattles. Note: the advertised size of the screen is not the picture you actually get - it's 2" smaller and poor quality. The 90-day warranty just ran out and the picture wouldn't come on unless you tapped the box. Now it won't come on at all. I would say this is an expensive disposable tv.
